Maybe something like this...

Perfect. It's looking great and you're making good progress. Slow & steady works just fine.

Hmm... Mid-winter road trip possibilities... 😁

I think the skid plates are something most can pull off (and, if not, you can sand them off & try again). Practice makes perfect and that's a great practice piece. As for the single blade... Yes, by all means grab one (or more). I'd recommend not breaking the bank, however. Follow the...

Boundary Waters is nearby... It's worth a look. (you're welcome)

Welcome & congrats, the new boat looks good up there. I've thought about stopping in Sylvania one of these days as I'm headed North but I was unfamiliar with Bittersweet Lakes... Looks interesting. With only 5 campsites, is there a lot of competition for reservations? Trip reports are always...

One note on the purple accents in the Poplar: Unfortunately, it only took about a week of sun (paddled 3 times & rode around on the car a bit) for the purple to turn black. Oh well, the seat still looks pretty. Additionally, it turns out that I'm not quite done with this one. With a weight...

I've always carried two 26,800mAh power banks (one for my phone & inReach, and one for the headlamp & GoPros though I never get around to editing videos). The one I use for the inReach has a solar panel built in. I've never come close to depleting either on my trips and upon returning from my...

Looking good. I've often thought about trying the herringbone all the way to the center... I like the way it looks. Sadly, I'm a creature of habit and tend to gravitate toward the "quick & dirty" routes, so I cut the centerline.

Those clouds look like the ones the aliens generate to disguise their fly-overs.

I'm in the "patch it, paddle it, enjoy it" camp but it depends on the extent of the damage whether I'd bother patching it. If the glass is intact on both inside & out and the cracking appears to be limited to the core (does a fingernail or ball point pen catch in any of the cracks?), I'd...

I watched it last night. Well done.

True but if you practice you'll be able to. I was once told: “We don't rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training.” ― Archilochus

Looks like fun & a great place to practice ww skills. Great to see the big tandems playing in the rapids instead of just getting flushed downstream too... nicely done.

Not me. I skipped law school but any rule the gubbermint is neither willing nor able to enforce is merely a suggestion.
